Sirheni Bushveld Camp nestles on the edge of the Kruger National Park’s northern plains within the Mopane veld of the region. The Mphongolo River, lies next to the camp. The accommodation facilities and the camp’s two bird hides overlook the river and a wide variety of game and birds are attracted to it. Visitors have been awakened to the sounds of lion and hyena, as there are often kills at the river. Sirheni has a resident leopard that is seen on a regular basis, often coming down to drink at the river.

My very Favourite camp (along with Tamboti). At Shimuwini Camp you can be certain you will see many different animals coming down to drink along the river, within view of Shimuwini Camp. Shimuwini Camp is in the northern region, the area ranging southward from the Tropic of Capricorn to the Olifants River. The sparse, isolated hills in the west are rich in pre-historic artefacts, while the Lebombo Mountains in the east form the natural boundary between Kruger Park, South Africa and Mozambique.

The lookout point is situated on the S32 gravel loop road near Tshokwane picnic site. The resting area has a great panoramic view over the dam.

An amazing week on a Mom and daughter Trip - special moments in special places!

A cheeky short break while in SA for Linda's 60th! A perfect quick fix!

Our absolute favourite Tented Camp in Kruger - not the least because it is frequented by night visitors: Genet, Hyena and Honey Badgers! Visitors should travel to Orpen Gate to gain access to the camp. Due to the size and location of this camp, Tamboti is one of the most popular camps in the Park. A great feature is a boma, which makes it ideal for small groups of people to gather around the campfire and relive the animal sightings of the day. For the birding enthusiasts, Tamboti offers a bird hide in which to spend hours looking for that exclusive raptor that has up to now eluded you. The natural bush feeling is kept inside the camp, which has the result of emphasising guest privacy.

:-) Glamping in the bush with hyenas! :-( The mystery of the stolen blankets ... After a fair bit of research we found this excellent and affordable private reserve option:…
